Introduction

The Carbolite range of general purpose laboratory chamber furnaces can be used for a wide variety of applications and in many different sectors of industry and research including:

Heat treating - hardening tempering and
  annealing
Thermal aging processes
Ignition tests
Firing of ceramic materials
Enamelling, bonding, fusing and sintering
Non ferrous melting
Decomposition in chemical anaysis
Digestion of samples
Gravimetric analysis
High temperature curing and debonding

Whilst all furnaces are fitted with a chimney or exhaust vent, we do not recommend that they are used for ashing where significant amounts of carbon and other combustible volatiles are emitted.

Furnaces may sometimes be damaged by chemical attack as a result of corrosive atmospheres generated by the process. Examples include low melting point oxides (eg. lead, sodium and potassium) fluxes, hardening salts, sulphur compounds and halides.





Stylish and sturdy -  both the inner and outer case are constructed from zinc coated steel, the outer being finished in two tone, hard wearing stoved epoxy/polyester coating.

Positive break safety switch - activates isolation of the chamber from all power lines when the door is opened.

Convection cooling - the double skinned construction promotes convected air flow for a cool outer case.

Chamber exhaust vent - promotes the extraction of fumes from the chamber generated by the process.

Solid state control - zero voltage switching and rapid cycle time for smooth and reliable control.



Digital temperature control - the control module houses a range of digital instrumentation for precise temperature and process control.

Door action - On the CWF, RWF and GPC furnaces, a vertical counterbalanced door mechanism keeps the hot door insulation away from the operator when the door is opened. The VCF model has a parallel door mechanism - easily operated with one hand - which also ensures the hot insulation rediates away from the operator, in this case downwards.
